Pitt, as a peep-show man, stands by his box, which is supported on trestles. John Bull (left), a simple yokel, stoops in profile to the right to gape through the hole. Pitt, who with his right hand pulls a string which issues from the box, bends over John Bull and takes a bag labelled 'Savings' from his coat-pocket. A large trumpet is slung across his shoulders, to which is attached a fringed banner decorated with the royal arms. His box has a pagoda-like roof surmounted by a crown under a little umbrella edged with bells from which rises a flag: 'Licenced by Authority Billy Hum's Grand Exihibition of Moveing Mecanism or Deception of the Senses'. He says to John: "Now pray lend your Attention to the Enchanting prospect before you, This is the prospect of Peace, only Observe what a busy Scene presents itself, The Ports are filled with Shipping. The Quays loaded with Merchandise, Riches are flowing in from every Quarter this prospect alone is worth all the Money you have got about you." John answers: "May hap it may - Master Shewm but I canna zee ony thing like what you mentions I sees nothing but a woide plain with some Mountains and Molehills upont, as sure as a Gun it must be all behoind one of those?"
